Alipay stopped all foreign VISA/MASTERCARD/JCB creditcards from 31-Mar-2023

This afternoon, I tried to use pay RMB40 shipping and got stucked with above messages..
Had to activate local Alipay paying service.

Soon, my taobao buying spree activity will come to an halt.
No 4.4 for me.. and subsequent events...

Anyone got a solution to this other using 3rd party payer?

The message say after that to continue payments can pay in foreign money lol.

Is it they going to charge all foreign cards using USD?

Its like Aliexpress is charging USD convert to SGD even they display SGD in cart.

Now aliexpress have this 1.99usd deals. But inside all sgd after conversion.

During refund if USD too strong lol the refund value we will lose money

Where they get the USD rates? Seriously i don't know lol. Maybe they eat all consumers using lousy rates during refund to earn from refund

I just pay directly from my CC and incur the 3% processing fee

No need go through Alipay. If this also cannot, then means I totally can't buy stuff from TB

use CC pay also using ur alipay account to pay ma....

 

[jasonho26]

china want to de dollarisation.
china want to cut reliances on western financial system.
china want user to use digital yuan and force sg govt to accept digital yuan as payment mode.

you better quit alipay and stop using taobao...

Not dedollarisation. They want to make consumers pay more to buy from them. Or they don't want pay money for the payment gateway lol

Never used taobao in my life and have no intention of doing that so who cares?

 

[compuser]

It means that they are forcing people to use paylah or whatever uob/posb/citi bank to pay directly.

Existing credit card arrangements have a 3% fee.

Those direct bank arrangements also have fee, but not sure how much. Paylah says 1.5 percent fee waiver don't know means 0 percent or 1.5 percent.

So it means cut out the credit card middle man and let the bank earn the fees directly la. In fact there are lesser fees to consumers plus most likely better exchange rates.

Nothing change negatively unless you die die wanna use credit card. Biggest losers are the credit card companies.

 

[Insatiable_creat]

From what I read. It means cannot pay in CNY. Which also means we have to use their converted rates? My Amaze card rates usually better than theirs.. :/

 

[Opps-gal]

Wait for others to try. Means cannot use dash visa also? Don't know how to pay if no visa can use.

 

[Sultana]

Got to stop buying from China...

Buy from taobao is different from Amazon.
